Wicanders cork flooring cork Essence Fashionable Mystic tile

Wicanders is a traditional company whose history dates back to 1868. Through constant technical development, Wicanders is a world leader in the field of cork-based floor coverings. This cork flooring also benefits from this. Here the advantages of cork as a material have been combined with a dark, marbled look. With its dark colour, the "Fashionable Mystik" cork floor provides a calm, neutral base for your interior. This unusual, modern flooring was designed by the well-known Italian industrial designer Antonio Bullo. He uses the irregularities naturally present in cork as a material to create a distinctive floor covering that fits contemporary architecture.

Why this flooring is ideal for children's rooms

Cork is a warm and elastic material. Therefore, cork flooring is always pleasantly warm underfoot, even in winter. You can therefore let small children play on this floor without hesitation. The elasticity protects the joints and bones of the users. The floor also cushions minor falls, which are more common among children. This cork floor is also a good sound insulator. Therefore, walking and playing on this floor not only produces less noise in the room itself, but also less noise is transmitted to the adjacent rooms. Due to the surface treatment with a UV acrylic varnish, this cork floor is scratch and impact resistant. As the floor tiles are mainly made of natural materials, they do not emit any harmful chemical substances. This is proven by several environmental seals.

Necessary accessories for this Wicanders cork floor

If you want to install this floor over underfloor heating or on a mineral subfloor (such as screed or ceramic tiles), you will need a vapour barrier. This is also called a moisture barrier and consists of a thin PE film that protects the floor from moisture from below. It is laid between the subfloor and the cork tiles. To create an attractive transition between the cork floor and the walls, use matching skirting boards. For the transition from one room to the next, you need end profiles or transition profiles. End profiles are suitable if the floors in both rooms are the same height. If the floor heights are different, use transition profiles.
